I'm trying to use a BT mouse on my iPhone 13 Pro with the idea of eventually connecting the iPhone to an external display so I can take advantage of unlimited data on a big screen without using the (not unlimited) hotspot with a laptop.

So..... the title says all. When I connect my BT mouse to my iPhone 13 and use the scroll wheel to scroll a web page (or menu options) it does not scroll unless I scroll very quickly. When I scroll slowly, there is no reaction at all no matter how far I roll the scroll wheel.

Did I miss a setting somewhere? The same mouse scrolls perfectly in Windows 10 at any speed (and has for years).

Note that I am connecting the mouse through the Accessibiity settings, which (I think) is the correct way?

Good suggestion but I don't have another BT mouse to try.

Turns out I was wrong in my initial description. The mouse scroll wheel DOES work correctly in Chrome, Safari or the IOS menus. Not sure why I initially thought it did not. Where it does not scroll when rolled slowly is in AnyDesk (viewing my PC desktop). So it looks like this might not be an IOS issue after all. But it is a strange one.
